World population is estimated to increase to 9.5 billion by the year 2050, with 80 per cent living in the developing countries. The additional demand for food on account of increasing population and altered consumption patterns would put more pressure for at least doubling the current levels of food production. Stagnated agricultural production, poor progress in agricultural innovation to increase output, unchecked pre- and post-harvest losses, and the lack of scope for increasing arable land and irrigation, push all countries into a critical phase. It is an urgent necessity for developing countries to implement measures to enhance food production through a more efficient use of land and water and adopting modern technologies to meet with the future demands. In this context, the genetically engineered (GE) crops offer a great promise. Introduced in 1996 on 1.75 million hectares, GE crops were cultivated on 175 million hectares in 27 countries, including 19 developing countries, in 2013
